Pesticides in the Canadian Archipelago: 3. Banks Island

Continuous air samples were collected on Legs 8 and 9 of the CCGS Amundsen cruise in 2008 using a high volume air sampler that drew air through a glass fibre filter followed by two polyurethane foam plugs. Water samples were collected by filter water through a glass fibre filter followed by a solid phase absorbent. Samples were extracted back at the laboratory followed by analysis using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Data generated included concentration of semi-volatile contaminants in air and water and chiral signature of chiral components.
